This is the part
where you gotta cheer with us

00:01:09,361 --> 00:01:12,697
because we are alive, Chicago!
18
00:01:15,158 --> 00:01:17,243
Lots of fucked up things
goin' on right now,
19
00:01:17,243 --> 00:01:19,412
so let's just cheer
for ourselves, alright?
20
00:01:19,537 --> 00:01:22,874
On the count of three,
cheer as loud as you can.
21
00:01:22,874 --> 00:01:25,460
One, two, three, go!
22
00:01:30,423 --> 00:01:32,717
Last chance, here we go.
23
00:01:32,717 --> 00:01:35,345
One, two, three... scream!
24
00:01:54,948 --> 00:01:58,159
Slide to me
a little bit more.
25
00:01:58,284 --> 00:02:01,788
So, this is a movie that I
shot and edited together.
26
00:02:03,331 --> 00:02:04,290
Um...
27
00:02:05,333 --> 00:02:06,167
2008.
28
00:02:06,292 --> 00:02:07,794
What year were you born?
29
00:02:07,794 --> 00:02:09,337
- '07.
- '07, okay.
30
00:02:09,462 --> 00:02:13,341
So, we put this together
the year after you were born.
31
00:02:13,466 --> 00:02:15,760
Actually, this movie
never got finished.
32
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:17,303
Are you gonna
try and finish it?
33
00:02:17,429 --> 00:02:19,973
Yeah.
It's time to finish it.
34
00:02:19,973 --> 00:02:21,516
- Mm-hm.
- Yeah.
35
00:03:51,064 --> 00:03:53,108
In the late '90s
and early 2000s,
36
00:03:53,233 --> 00:03:55,819
I was living
in downtown Toronto.
37
00:03:55,819 --> 00:03:58,655
At that time, you could
get a sweet place to live
38
00:03:58,655 --> 00:04:02,367
for under $500.
39
00:04:02,367 --> 00:04:04,494
People bought records
from Sam the Record Man
40
00:04:04,494 --> 00:04:07,539
and rented movies
from Blockbuster.
41
00:04:07,539 --> 00:04:09,416
Most people were discovering
mainstream music
42
00:04:09,416 --> 00:04:11,334
on the MuchMusic Countdown.
43
00:04:11,334 --> 00:04:14,421
They also watched Citytv
and Speakers Corner.
44
00:04:14,546 --> 00:04:15,672
And Drake?
45
00:04:15,672 --> 00:04:18,091
He was just an actor
on a TV show called Degrassi.
46
00:04:19,718 --> 00:04:21,177
Toronto
also had this youthful
47
00:04:21,177 --> 00:04:23,638
and creative underground.
48
00:04:23,763 --> 00:04:26,808
It's where I found
this exciting group of artists.
49
00:04:26,808 --> 00:04:28,143
Come on!
50
00:04:28,268 --> 00:04:30,812
I'd like to welcome to the room,
Mr. Stephen Chung!
51
00:04:38,111 --> 00:04:39,696
That's me,
Stephen.
52
00:04:39,696 --> 00:04:42,157
Stevie. Chung. Chungie.
53
00:04:42,282 --> 00:04:43,950
I'm a cinematographer.
54
00:04:43,950 --> 00:04:46,369
Words are not my strong suit.
55
00:04:46,369 --> 00:04:51,458
♪ I think it's almost time... ♪
56
00:04:51,583 --> 00:04:54,711
Let's do that again!
57
00:04:54,711 --> 00:04:56,254
There's
so many players
58
00:04:56,254 --> 00:04:57,630
in the Broken Social Scene.
59
00:04:57,630 --> 00:05:00,592
It's almost impossible
to keep track of them all.
60
00:05:00,592 --> 00:05:02,886
The first person I met
was Brendan Canning,
61
00:05:02,886 --> 00:05:04,429
AKA "The Champ."
62
00:05:04,429 --> 00:05:06,473
He's the DJ, the selector;
63
00:05:06,598 --> 00:05:08,016
he's the heartbeat of the party.
64
00:05:09,434 --> 00:05:10,977
It was the '90s,
65
00:05:11,102 --> 00:05:12,645
so there were
lots of different bands.
66
00:05:12,645 --> 00:05:15,649
I kind of joined Len
around '96...
67
00:05:15,774 --> 00:05:17,025
by accident.
68
00:05:17,025 --> 00:05:21,154
♪ I was lying on the grass of
Sunday morning of last week ♪
69
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,532
♪ Indulging in
my self-defeat... ♪
70
00:05:24,658 --> 00:05:26,618
But
I was still in hHead.
71
00:05:26,618 --> 00:05:29,496
Grunge was happening,
and so all the Canadian labels
72
00:05:29,496 --> 00:05:32,040
were trying to play catch-up,
like, "Oh, they're a trio.
73
00:05:32,165 --> 00:05:34,709
"They got plaid shirts
and army shorts."
74
00:05:34,709 --> 00:05:37,962
That led into winning
a radio station contest
75
00:05:37,962 --> 00:05:39,881
and winning a hundred grand.
76
00:05:42,300 --> 00:05:44,386
We didn't
make a great record.
77
00:05:44,386 --> 00:05:46,179
I feel like a fucking idiot.
78
00:05:46,304 --> 00:05:50,558
Smoking too much weed, in a band
who wasn't quite all together...
79
00:05:50,684 --> 00:05:53,603
Whatever. You're 24.
You make mistakes.
80
00:05:53,728 --> 00:05:57,690
♪ I'm on your side, y'all... ♪
81
00:05:57,690 --> 00:06:00,860
Then I started
playing in By Divine Right.
82
00:06:00,860 --> 00:06:03,697
You know, I wasn't
feeling like I'm living up
83
00:06:03,697 --> 00:06:06,866
to some kind of potential
that I believe I have.
84
00:06:09,703 --> 00:06:12,580
It was kind of
a little confusing because I was
85
00:06:12,706 --> 00:06:15,709
really into house music as well,
just loving staying out late,
86
00:06:15,834 --> 00:06:19,170
doing some ecstasy,
hearing DJs play house music.
87
00:06:19,170 --> 00:06:21,715
I was obsessed.
88
00:06:27,679 --> 00:06:29,222
While
Brendan and I were
89
00:06:29,347 --> 00:06:30,598
partying our asses off,
90
00:06:30,724 --> 00:06:33,935
I discovered Charlie Spearin
and his boys Do Make Say Think.
91
00:06:48,199 --> 00:06:50,535
I'm familiar
with the chill-out room.
92
00:06:50,535 --> 00:06:52,954
4 in the morning, warehouses,
93
00:06:53,079 --> 00:06:55,540
and when everybody's too
freaked out on MDMA or whatever,
94
00:06:55,540 --> 00:06:58,460
they go into this room
filled with couches,
95
00:06:58,585 --> 00:07:01,129
and then there would be this
quartet of dudes with guitars
96
00:07:01,129 --> 00:07:07,552
and delay pedals making
the most gentle ambient music.
97
00:07:07,552 --> 00:07:10,263
I listened to you guys in awe.
98
00:07:10,263 --> 00:07:11,931
I'd never heard
anything like it before.
99
00:07:33,870 --> 00:07:37,457
It felt like the
way music was supposed to be.
100
00:07:37,457 --> 00:07:40,210
It was such a contrast
to the struggling
101
00:07:40,210 --> 00:07:43,963
to get radio play or struggling
to get mainstream attention.
102
00:07:46,966 --> 00:07:52,013
For me, the real forefront
of interesting music in Toronto
103
00:07:52,013 --> 00:07:53,682
came from Peaches.
104
00:07:53,807 --> 00:07:57,602
♪ Let's get over this ♪
105
00:07:57,602 --> 00:08:01,147
♪ I'm your lovertits... ♪
106
00:08:01,272 --> 00:08:04,150
She encouraged
everybody to get their freak on.
107
00:08:04,275 --> 00:08:07,987
There was a sense of,
you're never gonna make it,
108
00:08:08,113 --> 00:08:11,199
so there was
this counterculture freedom
109
00:08:11,324 --> 00:08:13,785
to just book shows
and play shows
110
00:08:13,910 --> 00:08:16,454
and do whatever
the hell you want.
111
00:08:19,541 --> 00:08:22,127
Holy cow,
look at that dust.
112
00:08:25,422 --> 00:08:29,676
This is my Tascam 388 Studio 8.
113
00:08:29,801 --> 00:08:31,720
This was how you made friends.
114
00:08:31,845 --> 00:08:33,221
This is how you brought
people together.
115
00:08:33,221 --> 00:08:35,557
This is how you made music.
116
00:08:35,557 --> 00:08:40,520
This was the, you know,
poor person's perfect studio.
117
00:08:44,065 --> 00:08:45,942
This is basically
what everybody wanted to do
118
00:08:45,942 --> 00:08:49,279
instead of watching television,
instead of consuming television.
119
00:08:49,279 --> 00:08:51,406
It was a way to create.
120
00:08:51,531 --> 00:08:55,952
So much joy, so much
possibility, so much music.
121
00:08:55,952 --> 00:08:58,538
Tell me
when you first met Kevin.
122
00:08:58,538 --> 00:09:00,957
This kid
comes up to me and says,
123
00:09:00,957 --> 00:09:03,585
"You look like a guy
who likes Tortoise."
124
00:09:03,710 --> 00:09:06,546
And I thought,
"Is there a look?
125
00:09:06,671 --> 00:09:08,923
"Do I have this look?
'Cause I do like Tortoise.
126
00:09:08,923 --> 00:09:10,216
"I love Tortoise!"
127
00:09:10,341 --> 00:09:12,802
That was that icebreaker
that he came up to me with,
128
00:09:12,802 --> 00:09:14,387
and it worked.
129
00:09:14,387 --> 00:09:16,264
Okay, let's go.
Let's go on mix.
130
00:09:20,310 --> 00:09:21,436
What key are you in?
131
00:09:21,561 --> 00:09:24,189
I dunno.
132
00:09:40,246 --> 00:09:42,457
Kevin and I just
started talking about music
133
00:09:42,582 --> 00:09:43,625
all the time.
134
00:09:43,750 --> 00:09:45,377
He would come over
and we'd do recordings,
135
00:09:45,502 --> 00:09:47,462
and then we started
KC Accidental,
136
00:09:47,587 --> 00:09:49,964
the idea being that we
would just sort of embrace
137
00:09:50,090 --> 00:09:52,884
spontaneity,
and whatever happens happens.
138
00:09:52,884 --> 00:09:55,428
Love this guy!
I want it on film.
139
00:09:57,597 --> 00:09:59,974
Sweet, sweet track.
140
00:09:59,974 --> 00:10:02,060
Kevin
and Charles, Accidental.
141
00:10:04,938 --> 00:10:08,024
I would see
Kevin around town a little bit.
142
00:10:08,149 --> 00:10:10,110
You know, boppin' around.
143
00:10:10,235 --> 00:10:14,447
This one DJ night,
I had Kevin doing security.
144
00:10:14,572 --> 00:10:15,615
He looked a little distressed;
145
00:10:15,740 --> 00:10:17,158
I'm like,
"Oh, what's goin' on?"
146
00:10:17,283 --> 00:10:19,828
He's like, "Oh, man, someone
brought in Red Baron beer here,"
147
00:10:19,828 --> 00:10:22,163
and he's like, "I gotta
go try and find the guy.
148
00:10:22,288 --> 00:10:23,873
"He's, like, sneakin' beers
into the bar."
149
00:10:23,873 --> 00:10:26,710
And I was just like,
"Well, fuck, let me help you
150
00:10:26,710 --> 00:10:28,044
"try and find the guy."
151
00:10:28,044 --> 00:10:31,256
So I'm makin' a show of, like,
lookin' around the bar
152
00:10:31,256 --> 00:10:32,549
for Red Baron beer,
153
00:10:32,549 --> 00:10:35,510
but meanwhile it's like I'm
going into my bag to be like...
154
00:10:35,635 --> 00:10:37,679
Fuckin' guy!
155
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:40,223
'Cause I had brought beers
from the last gig.
156
00:10:41,599 --> 00:10:44,644
Kevin made me
a couple of mix cassettes
157
00:10:44,644 --> 00:10:46,980
that had some
KC Accidental on it.
158
00:10:48,690 --> 00:10:50,317
It spoke to me.
159
00:10:51,693 --> 00:10:54,529
I just said it's like,
"Oh! Oh, that's good."
160
00:10:54,529 --> 00:10:57,240
It's like, "Maybe I'll
make this kid a star."
161
00:11:24,267 --> 00:11:25,185
So talented!
162
00:11:25,185 --> 00:11:27,354
You are lucky guys.
See you tomorrow.
163
00:11:27,479 --> 00:11:29,189
- Bye, Mom!
- Alright.
164
00:11:29,314 --> 00:11:30,982
Okay, bye Mama!
165
00:11:34,152 --> 00:11:35,862
I was
immediately drawn to Kevin,
166
00:11:35,862 --> 00:11:37,405
and so was my camera.
167
00:11:37,530 --> 00:11:41,034
He had this amazing ability
to inspire and connect people.
168
00:11:41,159 --> 00:11:44,704
But for us, it was really the
music that glued us together.
169
00:11:46,748 --> 00:11:48,041
So, we met,
170
00:11:48,166 --> 00:11:50,085
and then we started
to see each other
171
00:11:50,210 --> 00:11:52,337
at certain parties at
three, four in the morning.
172
00:11:52,337 --> 00:11:53,880
Yeah!
173
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:55,882
You had
a hard time communicating.
174
00:11:56,007 --> 00:11:58,385
You did. You had a hard time
expressing yourself.
175
00:12:00,011 --> 00:12:01,846
You were the poster child for
176
00:12:01,846 --> 00:12:05,058
"You're never alone
when you listen to music."
177
00:12:08,603 --> 00:12:10,563
I still remember,
Pavement was playing
178
00:12:10,563 --> 00:12:12,565
and you looked at me
and you said,
179
00:12:12,691 --> 00:12:15,110
"I don't really
understand that much,
180
00:12:15,235 --> 00:12:17,112
"but I understand this."
181
00:12:17,112 --> 00:12:18,530
That was the start.
182
00:12:25,203 --> 00:12:28,373
Like a lot
of good art and music,
183
00:12:28,373 --> 00:12:29,624
in the beginning...
184
00:12:29,749 --> 00:12:35,088
I mean, there's nothing
like a beginning.
185
00:12:35,088 --> 00:12:36,881
Brendan,
the story goes,
186
00:12:36,881 --> 00:12:40,051
he just got my number
and he called me, twice.
187
00:12:40,051 --> 00:12:42,929
He was moving
in with Jo-Ann to Afton,
188
00:12:42,929 --> 00:12:46,057
and I started just kind of
pursuing him, per se.
189
00:12:46,057 --> 00:12:49,060
I like the way he sways.
I like the way he moves.
190
00:12:49,060 --> 00:12:51,813
There was something
about his speed.
191
00:12:51,938 --> 00:12:54,399
He was slow,
but yet so accurate.
192
00:12:54,399 --> 00:12:55,942
I got all this gear from Charlie
193
00:12:55,942 --> 00:12:57,569
because the Do Makes
went on tour,
194
00:12:57,569 --> 00:13:00,739
so I got his 8-track and I said,
"Why don't you come over?"
195
00:13:00,739 --> 00:13:02,574
So we just
started hanging out
196
00:13:02,574 --> 00:13:04,242
in the basement.
That was kinda it.
197
00:13:04,242 --> 00:13:07,120
We would always
call him our second wife.
198
00:13:07,245 --> 00:13:10,623
He would be at our house
all morning, all afternoon,
199
00:13:10,623 --> 00:13:13,960
all evening, into the next day.
200
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:16,421
He was an inspiration to Kevin.
201
00:13:16,421 --> 00:13:20,675
He was a bit older and had
lots of experience in music.
202
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:23,094
He had his sea legs
maybe a little bit.
203
00:13:23,094 --> 00:13:25,638
Like, I just
would wake up and be like,
204
00:13:25,638 --> 00:13:27,474
"I gotta just hang out
with this guy."
205
00:13:27,474 --> 00:13:28,725
He just made my life better.
206
00:13:28,725 --> 00:13:30,769
Brendan and I'd stay up
till around 6 am,
207
00:13:30,769 --> 00:13:33,146
just messin' around
in the deep part of the winter.
208
00:13:33,146 --> 00:13:34,981
It was having the best
of both worlds.
209
00:13:35,106 --> 00:13:37,025
It was having, you know,
the woman you love
210
00:13:37,150 --> 00:13:40,028
and just being so excited
about this guy coming over,
211
00:13:40,028 --> 00:13:42,822
making a really mellow, simple--
212
00:13:42,947 --> 00:13:46,034
because we only had 8 tracks
to work with-- record.
213
00:13:46,159 --> 00:13:47,952
I think
he thought he was
214
00:13:47,952 --> 00:13:50,205
making my solo record,
and I was just thinking,
215
00:13:50,330 --> 00:13:52,749
"Nah, it's like who wants
a fuckin' solo career?"
216
00:13:52,874 --> 00:13:54,834
You know, like,
we got a thing happening.
217
00:13:54,959 --> 00:13:56,711
There's a thing.
218
00:13:59,631 --> 00:14:03,593
And it turned out
to become Feel Good Lost.
219
00:14:03,593 --> 00:14:06,846
♪ Coming to you live ♪
220
00:14:06,971 --> 00:14:12,394
♪ Passport radio almost mine ♪
221
00:14:12,519 --> 00:14:16,564
♪ Coming to you live ♪
222
00:14:16,690 --> 00:14:19,526
♪ Passport radio almost mine ♪
223
00:14:21,361 --> 00:14:24,197
We had this one
jammer going and I was like,
224
00:14:24,197 --> 00:14:27,200
"We should get Leslie
to sing on this."
225
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:30,245
She was living at
West Queen Street with Peaches.
226
00:14:30,370 --> 00:14:34,833
♪ We want it... ♪
227
00:14:34,833 --> 00:14:37,502
I remember
Queen Street felt exciting.
228
00:14:37,502 --> 00:14:39,087
Kensington Market felt exciting.
229
00:14:39,212 --> 00:14:41,548
I remember walking
into Songbird.
230
00:14:41,548 --> 00:14:42,674
Yeah.
231
00:14:42,674 --> 00:14:45,385
It would be kind of
this church feeling of, like,
232
00:14:45,385 --> 00:14:48,596
"Ah! Ah!"
Like a hallowed hall of gear.
233
00:14:48,722 --> 00:14:51,683
And you, it must have been
234
00:14:51,683 --> 00:14:53,727
that we kind of got
reconnected through--
235
00:14:53,852 --> 00:14:55,061
'Cause you're frickin'
By Divine Right.
236
00:14:55,061 --> 00:14:56,771
We were in By Divine Right
together.
237
00:14:56,896 --> 00:14:58,565
Oh, good God!
238
00:15:02,193 --> 00:15:04,404
By the time
we were jamming at Afton,
239
00:15:04,404 --> 00:15:06,489
I felt like a road warrior,
240
00:15:06,489 --> 00:15:11,077
and then you played
for a whole lifespan before me.
241
00:15:11,202 --> 00:15:13,663
And then, this guy Kevin
had none of that experience,
242
00:15:13,663 --> 00:15:15,290
had never played shows,
243
00:15:15,290 --> 00:15:17,625
and yet had
the really optimistic,
244
00:15:17,751 --> 00:15:20,253
positive hubris
to tell us what to do.
245
00:15:20,378 --> 00:15:22,839
And I felt really confused
but charmed and convinced
246
00:15:22,839 --> 00:15:24,507
by his clarity of things.
247
00:15:26,051 --> 00:15:28,470
Feel Good Lost, it wasn't
really a band, you know?
248
00:15:28,470 --> 00:15:32,182
It was kind of a concept
that Brendan and Kevin started.
249
00:15:32,182 --> 00:15:34,768
Those two cats were
manipulating the tape machine
250
00:15:34,893 --> 00:15:37,729
like an instrument,
creating this world,
251
00:15:37,729 --> 00:15:38,980
these soundscapes;
252
00:15:38,980 --> 00:15:41,107
this cloud,
this beautiful cloud.
253
00:15:41,232 --> 00:15:43,777
That's all I can really call it.
254
00:15:43,777 --> 00:15:46,946
I can't remember
how the invitation came.
255
00:15:46,946 --> 00:15:50,158
I guess, like,
me playing trombone was--
256
00:15:50,283 --> 00:15:53,995
and bringing a trombone
into this type of music
257
00:15:53,995 --> 00:15:55,955
was another original thought.
258
00:15:55,955 --> 00:15:59,793
And they were doing it
in this basement.
259
00:15:59,918 --> 00:16:04,089
It became
a real hub, real fast.
260
00:16:04,089 --> 00:16:06,508
It was basically
guest after guest.
261
00:16:06,508 --> 00:16:07,592
- Hey.
- Hey.
262
00:16:07,592 --> 00:16:09,719
Jesus, come on in!
263
00:16:09,719 --> 00:16:11,513
Always recording.
264
00:16:11,513 --> 00:16:12,847
Always.
265
00:16:12,847 --> 00:16:14,474
Hey, I'm Sammy, by the way.
266
00:16:14,474 --> 00:16:17,602
- Nice camera.
- Is this thing on, man?
267
00:16:17,602 --> 00:16:18,603
Yeah.
268
00:16:18,603 --> 00:16:19,854
We should do this.
269
00:16:19,854 --> 00:16:21,648
Yeah, let's go.
270
00:16:21,773 --> 00:16:24,234
This is just
another one of those evenings,
271
00:16:24,234 --> 00:16:25,318
I guess.
272
00:16:26,361 --> 00:16:28,363
You just
live in the moment.
273
00:16:28,363 --> 00:16:30,949
But you knew that you were
a part of something
274
00:16:30,949 --> 00:16:34,202
that was just really awesome.
275
00:16:47,382 --> 00:16:49,551
I went over
to Kev's house on Afton
276
00:16:49,551 --> 00:16:52,178
and he introduced me
to this guy named Brendan.
277
00:16:52,178 --> 00:16:54,431
They just had a really
good connection.
278
00:16:54,556 --> 00:16:56,641
They both kind of see
things I think as
279
00:16:56,766 --> 00:16:58,226
the person
who's playing the part
280
00:16:58,226 --> 00:17:00,562
is more important than
the part that they play.
281
00:17:00,562 --> 00:17:02,480
All these
different little scenes
282
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:03,356
came together.
283
00:17:03,481 --> 00:17:04,566
Charles bringing
different people,
284
00:17:04,566 --> 00:17:06,067
I brought different people.
285
00:17:07,986 --> 00:17:09,237
We jammed there all the time,
286
00:17:09,362 --> 00:17:11,072
but they also had
lots of parties,
287
00:17:11,072 --> 00:17:13,992
and then they had brunches
that would turn into parties.
288
00:17:14,117 --> 00:17:16,244
Everybody
was interested in each other.
289
00:17:16,244 --> 00:17:18,455
Everybody wanted
to talk to each other.
290
00:17:18,580 --> 00:17:19,914
Everyone was welcome.
291
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:21,082
There was food.
292
00:17:21,082 --> 00:17:22,709
There was excellent lighting.
293
00:17:22,709 --> 00:17:26,087
There was, like,
a warm place to land.
294
00:17:26,087 --> 00:17:28,256
You've got it.
In the pocket!
295
00:17:28,256 --> 00:17:30,675
I'd say sometimes drop out,
296
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,511
just so it can be even better
when it comes back in.
297
00:17:33,511 --> 00:17:35,680
I'm just trying to,
make sure I remember...
298
00:17:35,805 --> 00:17:36,890
Yeah, don't forget the...
299
00:17:36,890 --> 00:17:38,767
I've always
worked as a carpenter.
300
00:17:38,767 --> 00:17:41,227
I would go directly
from the shop.
301
00:17:41,353 --> 00:17:44,689
I got the nickname, I think
it was Peroff that coined it,
302
00:17:44,689 --> 00:17:45,940
"Dusty Pants."
303
00:17:48,693 --> 00:17:50,987
You would
come over in the afternoon
304
00:17:51,112 --> 00:17:52,405
and you'd hang around.
305
00:17:52,530 --> 00:17:54,491
There'd be a lot of just
hanging around.
306
00:17:54,616 --> 00:17:56,284
The endless hanging out.
307
00:17:56,284 --> 00:17:58,787
It was just gettin' high
in the middle of the day
308
00:17:58,787 --> 00:18:00,121
and goin' into that basement.
309
00:18:00,246 --> 00:18:02,082
There was something
about the camaraderie
310
00:18:02,207 --> 00:18:03,541
that was just super fun.
311
00:18:31,528 --> 00:18:34,322
And you all
fall in love with each other
312
00:18:34,322 --> 00:18:36,825
in different ways, and you all
get crushes on each other
313
00:18:36,950 --> 00:18:38,410
in different ways,
musical and otherwise.
314
00:18:38,410 --> 00:18:40,787
And because
there's so many of us,
315
00:18:40,912 --> 00:18:43,957
there's lots of ways that you
could personally get to know
316
00:18:43,957 --> 00:18:46,209
one other person off to the side
317
00:18:46,209 --> 00:18:48,670
and create your own
relationships with them.
318
00:18:48,795 --> 00:18:52,716
Jo-Ann and Kevin already
made Afton into this hearth.
319
00:18:53,925 --> 00:18:55,677
It was like the eternal present.
320
00:18:57,846 --> 00:19:00,223
It certainly felt
like there was some kind of
321
00:19:00,348 --> 00:19:02,017
renaissance going on.
322
00:19:02,142 --> 00:19:05,186
It wasn't so hard
to be an artist
323
00:19:05,311 --> 00:19:07,731
around 2000 in Toronto.
324
00:19:07,731 --> 00:19:09,024
Rent was cheap.
325
00:19:09,024 --> 00:19:11,568
The creativity was on fire.
326
00:19:11,693 --> 00:19:13,862
Queen West,
there was hardly anybody
327
00:19:13,862 --> 00:19:15,488
in that neighbourhood
that we knew.
328
00:19:15,613 --> 00:19:17,365
Katharine Mulherin's
gallery was there,
329
00:19:17,490 --> 00:19:18,992
and if Katharine's gallery
is here,
330
00:19:18,992 --> 00:19:21,119
then it's gonna be cool
'cause all the artists
331
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:22,328
are gonna be there.
332
00:19:22,328 --> 00:19:24,831
You could
walk across Queen Street
333
00:19:24,831 --> 00:19:25,999
on a Thursday night
334
00:19:25,999 --> 00:19:28,126
when there'd be
a new show opening up.
335
00:19:28,126 --> 00:19:30,086
It was just--
it was very vibrant.
336
00:19:30,086 --> 00:19:32,505
And also very innocent
and really creative.
337
00:19:32,630 --> 00:19:33,798
Hey, Kevvy!
338
00:19:33,798 --> 00:19:36,509
Just felt like
you could do your own thing.
339
00:19:36,634 --> 00:19:38,011
At least, it did for us.
340
00:19:38,136 --> 00:19:40,221
We were all kind of
doing weird things
341
00:19:40,221 --> 00:19:42,974
with whatever venues
we could find in Toronto.
342
00:19:43,099 --> 00:19:46,144
We kind of also wanted, I think,
to be in these unusual settings
343
00:19:46,144 --> 00:19:48,021
'cause we were weirdos.
344
00:19:51,066 --> 00:19:52,484
We were basically broke
345
00:19:52,484 --> 00:19:55,195
but we went to see shows
all the time.
346
00:19:55,195 --> 00:19:58,490
Ted's was
looking for a new booker,
347
00:19:58,490 --> 00:20:02,827
so he asked me if I could
come and weave my magic there.
348
00:20:02,827 --> 00:20:07,749
I gave Jonny Dovercourt
his Wavelength Sunday nights.
349
00:20:07,749 --> 00:20:10,877
That was the start of
all the interesting stuff
350
00:20:10,877 --> 00:20:13,171
that was going to go on there.
351
00:20:13,171 --> 00:20:14,464
The Wavelength guys,
352
00:20:14,589 --> 00:20:17,967
they were keeping the spark
of indie rock alive.
353
00:20:18,093 --> 00:20:20,220
Ted's Wrecking Yard
upstairs,
354
00:20:20,345 --> 00:20:23,223
which ended up being
the BSS clubhouse.
355
00:20:23,348 --> 00:20:26,351
If we weren't playing there,
we were there watching shows.
356
00:20:26,351 --> 00:20:29,229
That was an important venue.
357
00:20:29,229 --> 00:20:31,272
Everyone
was supporting each other.
358
00:20:31,272 --> 00:20:33,900
You just suddenly found
that there was a way
359
00:20:33,900 --> 00:20:36,236
that you could connect everyone.
360
00:20:36,236 --> 00:20:40,115
There wasn't a competition
to stop each other.
361
00:20:49,290 --> 00:20:50,792
What are ya gonna do?
362
00:20:52,961 --> 00:20:53,878
Any time...
363
00:20:55,130 --> 00:20:57,090
Oh my God!
364
00:20:57,215 --> 00:20:58,425
Yes!
365
00:20:58,425 --> 00:21:00,427
We need to spread some love.
366
00:21:00,427 --> 00:21:02,762
What are you gonna do?
367
00:21:02,887 --> 00:21:04,806
I'm gonna do the... 95!
368
00:21:06,933 --> 00:21:09,269
Justin Peroff!
369
00:21:09,394 --> 00:21:10,645
I'm gonna do the 95!
370
00:21:17,485 --> 00:21:20,280
I remember there being
a lot more people there.
371
00:21:55,315 --> 00:21:57,776
It wasn't
like a normal band.
372
00:21:57,776 --> 00:22:01,071
Most of the players
were all songwriters
373
00:22:01,196 --> 00:22:03,365
and had solo careers.
374
00:22:03,365 --> 00:22:06,868
I remember there being
a conversation of a conceptual,
375
00:22:06,993 --> 00:22:10,455
"Let's play once a month and
write the songs for the shows."
376
00:22:10,455 --> 00:22:13,124
One, two, three, four!
377
00:22:32,977 --> 00:22:35,480
For me,
it was this great freedom
378
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:38,358
of not pretending to be a thing.
379
00:22:38,358 --> 00:22:40,318
Like, this is just people
playing music, right?
380
00:22:40,318 --> 00:22:41,486
It's playing music together.
381
00:22:41,611 --> 00:22:43,071
Like, we're gonna
make new songs.
382
00:22:43,071 --> 00:22:44,322
We're gonna have new people.
383
00:22:44,322 --> 00:22:46,616
There's no goal.
384
00:22:46,616 --> 00:22:48,952
I would miss
a practice for Social Scene,
385
00:22:49,077 --> 00:22:52,247
and then I would show up at
a gig and Kevin would be like,
386
00:22:52,372 --> 00:22:54,582
"We wrote three songs!"
you know?
387
00:22:54,582 --> 00:22:55,917
Those early jams,
388
00:22:56,042 --> 00:22:59,003
I remember just feeling like
the storm was gathering.
389
00:23:00,255 --> 00:23:01,756
It's been nice,
ladies and gentlemen.
390
00:23:01,756 --> 00:23:02,632
Thank you very much.
391
00:23:02,757 --> 00:23:04,175
Andrew Whiteman,
Charles Spearin,
392
00:23:04,175 --> 00:23:05,343
Brendan Canning,
393
00:23:05,343 --> 00:23:07,929
John Crossingham,
Justin Peroff.
394
00:23:08,054 --> 00:23:09,055
And Kevin Drew!
395
00:23:09,180 --> 00:23:10,515
And Kevin Drew.
396
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:12,892
That's all for you tonight,
limited edition.
397
00:23:12,892 --> 00:23:14,102
It's like, fuck, man.
398
00:23:14,227 --> 00:23:15,687
I was hoping someone
would videotape this
399
00:23:15,812 --> 00:23:17,939
so we could watch it
when we're, like, 70.
400
00:23:17,939 --> 00:23:20,108
I want to welcome
our friend, our love,
401
00:23:20,108 --> 00:23:21,192
Miss Emily Haines.
402
00:23:22,527 --> 00:23:25,113
I also want to welcome
to the stage at this time,
403
00:23:25,238 --> 00:23:26,197
Mr. James Shaw.

Someone called
a meeting and was like,
409
00:23:42,881 --> 00:23:45,383
"We gotta go talk about
the fact that these shows happen
410
00:23:45,383 --> 00:23:46,676
"and they were really great.
411
00:23:46,676 --> 00:23:48,636
"Let's, like,
make a record or something."
412
00:23:48,636 --> 00:23:50,555
And I think Kevin was like,
413
00:23:50,555 --> 00:23:52,766
"Yeah, let's do it.
Let's make this a thing."
414
00:23:52,766 --> 00:23:55,602
In my memory, that was the
moment that it kind of, like,
415
00:23:55,602 --> 00:23:57,937
it turned from, like,
a thing that just happened
416
00:23:57,937 --> 00:24:01,066
to a thing that then
we decided to make happen.
417
00:24:01,066 --> 00:24:02,525

It started
with us looking for
423
00:24:25,924 --> 00:24:28,134
a recording studio
that was affordable.
424
00:24:28,259 --> 00:24:30,762
We really didn't
have much money.
425
00:24:30,762 --> 00:24:32,764
I had some money
'cause I was touring
426
00:24:32,764 --> 00:24:35,225
with Franklin the Turtle
at the time.
427
00:24:35,350 --> 00:24:37,435
Everybody pitched in.
428
00:24:37,435 --> 00:24:39,854
We just needed some place
that was cheap.
429
00:24:47,195 --> 00:24:48,989
Thank you!
Goodnight!
430
00:24:57,372 --> 00:24:59,332
I wanted
to make great records,
431
00:24:59,332 --> 00:25:00,959
but I did not have high hopes.
432
00:25:00,959 --> 00:25:03,962
I was just hoping that
I wouldn't fucking go bankrupt!
433
00:25:06,131 --> 00:25:08,800
I'm just hoping to, like,
make, like, 1,500 a month
434
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:11,219
just to cover rent,
kind of thing.
435
00:25:15,223 --> 00:25:18,643
I knew I've got one
of the top bands in the city.
436
00:25:18,643 --> 00:25:21,646
These guys got somethin' real
special on their own without me,
437
00:25:21,646 --> 00:25:24,316
so I'd love to be able to,
like, bring my thing in
438
00:25:24,316 --> 00:25:26,568
to that as well.
439
00:25:26,568 --> 00:25:28,403
I just felt like,
"I'm at that level,"
440
00:25:28,403 --> 00:25:29,821
or, "I'll get to that level,
441
00:25:29,821 --> 00:25:31,865
"so then we'll both bring
each other up."
442
00:25:31,865 --> 00:25:32,949
Like Dada?
443
00:25:32,949 --> 00:25:35,160
No, no, no, there was
a band called Dada.
444
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:37,495
He calls me because
they thought they're gonna
445
00:25:37,620 --> 00:25:40,165
go into the place with, like,
a big room and a couch
446
00:25:40,165 --> 00:25:41,458
and all that shit.
447
00:25:41,458 --> 00:25:44,127
I was sitting there in
that dirty kitchen and you said,
448
00:25:44,252 --> 00:25:45,170
"What do you charge?"
449
00:25:45,170 --> 00:25:47,213
And I was like,
"Boy, they're gonna probably
450
00:25:47,213 --> 00:25:48,965
"come in for maybe two weeks.
451
00:25:49,090 --> 00:25:50,717
"I'll make, like, a thousand
bucks or somethin'.
452
00:25:50,717 --> 00:25:52,177
"I need the money!"
453
00:25:52,302 --> 00:25:54,888
So, I'm like,
"150 bucks a day?"
454
00:25:55,013 --> 00:25:57,474
And there's, like,
about a 45-second pause,
455
00:25:57,474 --> 00:25:58,975
and then Kevin comes back,
456
00:25:59,100 --> 00:26:01,269
"Well, why don't we just book,
like, five weeks?"
457
00:26:07,317 --> 00:26:08,860
Just before
they came in,
458
00:26:08,985 --> 00:26:11,571
a friend of mine said,
"You need a proper patch bay,"
459
00:26:11,696 --> 00:26:14,657
and so I ended up going down
a patch bay rabbit hole.
460
00:26:18,495 --> 00:26:21,790
Did you get some
good drum, Canning?
461
00:26:24,167 --> 00:26:26,044
The gear
is kind of working,
462
00:26:26,044 --> 00:26:28,755
but then it started on fire
and smoking out of the back.
463
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:30,548
It's like,
"Whoa, unplug that!"
464
00:26:36,429 --> 00:26:37,889
Is that good?
465
00:26:40,767 --> 00:26:44,646
Oh my God, here I
got the patch bay, you know,
466
00:26:44,646 --> 00:26:47,315
and I got the new board,
and I was so excited.
467
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:49,067
And it's just all
falling to shit.
468
00:26:49,067 --> 00:26:51,236
Chung,
turn off the camera.
469
00:26:51,361 --> 00:26:52,570
Don't put pressure on Dave
470
00:26:52,570 --> 00:26:54,781
to try to find
the feedback, okay?
471
00:26:54,906 --> 00:26:56,491
Kill the camera, Chung!
472
00:27:06,626 --> 00:27:08,837
Wassap!
473
00:27:08,962 --> 00:27:11,006
Euh!
474
00:27:33,236 --> 00:27:34,821
Wow.
475
00:27:34,821 --> 00:27:36,406
That's the beginning.
476
00:27:36,406 --> 00:27:38,325
That's amazing.
477
00:27:38,325 --> 00:27:40,952
Watching myself
walk into a portal.
478
00:27:40,952 --> 00:27:45,248
It changed all of our lives,
straight up.
479
00:27:45,248 --> 00:27:46,875
I had no idea at the time.
480
00:27:52,630 --> 00:27:54,090
So, Charlie,
he started playing.
481
00:27:54,215 --> 00:27:56,217
He's just monkeying around
and he kept playing it
482
00:27:56,217 --> 00:27:58,803
over and over 'cause
he liked what he was doing
483
00:27:58,803 --> 00:28:03,308
and he kept expanding the.
484
00:28:03,433 --> 00:28:05,185
So that kept him occupied.
485
00:28:11,024 --> 00:28:12,651
I remember
Kevin said,
486
00:28:12,651 --> 00:28:15,904
"Justin, oh, here's a drum beat
that you should try!"
487
00:28:24,287 --> 00:28:26,790
Later that night,
we were listening to it,
488
00:28:26,790 --> 00:28:28,583
and then that's when
Brendan was mumbling,
489
00:28:28,583 --> 00:28:30,835
and I'm like,
"Oh, go in there and try it."
490
00:28:30,835 --> 00:28:33,755
I said, "Brendan has
an idea he wants to try."
491
00:28:33,755 --> 00:28:35,215
I knew he wouldn't
normally do it,
492
00:28:35,215 --> 00:28:37,592
but they had just met me
so I could, like,
493
00:28:37,717 --> 00:28:39,803
make a bold thing like that
and they wouldn't, like,
494
00:28:39,928 --> 00:28:41,429
just go, "Oh, okay..."
495
00:28:45,308 --> 00:28:50,772

ended up using that take!
500
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:04,703
That is
what you hear on that record.
501
00:29:04,703 --> 00:29:05,745
That's his first attempt.
502
00:29:05,870 --> 00:29:06,830
It is.
503
00:29:06,955 --> 00:29:08,748
Charlie taught me
accidents are amazing,
504
00:29:08,873 --> 00:29:11,501
but you taught me
that the vibe is usually
505
00:29:11,626 --> 00:29:12,794
while you're finding it.
506
00:29:12,794 --> 00:29:14,879
The session
where the person's, like,
507
00:29:14,879 --> 00:29:17,132
still exploring
and discovering the song,
508
00:29:17,257 --> 00:29:19,801
there's some little nanoseconds
of the playing or something
509
00:29:19,801 --> 00:29:22,971
that's being expressed
that's more exciting.
510
00:29:26,016 --> 00:29:28,184
Let's do it again.
I need a...
511
00:29:28,184 --> 00:29:30,019
I don't think
Kevin played anything
512
00:29:30,145 --> 00:29:31,813
for the first half of the song,
513
00:29:31,938 --> 00:29:34,357
and then he comes in with
514
00:29:34,357 --> 00:29:37,485
this microphone going through
a guitar amp, screaming,
515
00:29:37,610 --> 00:29:38,778
"You forgot it in people!
516
00:29:38,903 --> 00:29:41,281
"You forgot it in people!
You forgot it in people!"
517
00:29:41,406 --> 00:29:43,116
That's where the album title
comes from.

I don't think anybody
can pick it out.

00:29:58,465 --> 00:29:59,424
Maybe somebody did.
524
00:30:02,510 --> 00:30:04,846
He played it
to me the next morning
525
00:30:04,971 --> 00:30:06,014
and I was like,
526
00:30:06,139 --> 00:30:07,682
"Don't change it!
It's amazing!"
527
00:30:07,807 --> 00:30:09,184
He just said,
"My boys!"
528
00:30:09,184 --> 00:30:11,853
and he had, like, a hand
on mine and Kevin's back,
529
00:30:11,853 --> 00:30:13,188
like we hit something good.
530
00:30:20,820 --> 00:30:23,865
♪ All the time you live ♪
531
00:30:23,990 --> 00:30:27,952
♪ There's something out there ♪
532
00:30:27,952 --> 00:30:30,997
It just happened
because it happened, you know?
533
00:30:30,997 --> 00:30:33,291
We had now this new, fresh tune.
534
00:30:33,416 --> 00:30:36,878
It suddenly made it seem like
this is a redeeming experience,
535
00:30:36,878 --> 00:30:39,214
or that maybe
this isn't all lost.
536
00:30:41,091 --> 00:30:43,301
And then
it just got better and better.
537
00:30:45,762 --> 00:30:48,306
Dave, tell me
you recorded that!
538
00:30:51,393 --> 00:30:53,645
The pervading spirit of
539
00:30:53,645 --> 00:30:56,398
"Stars and Sons" was Newfeld.
540
00:30:56,523 --> 00:30:58,900
The way he could
take everyone's personalities
541
00:30:59,025 --> 00:31:01,778
and make it sound whole...
542
00:31:01,778 --> 00:31:05,740
He's a scientist.
543
00:31:05,740 --> 00:31:07,409
He used the studio
as an instrument.
544
00:31:07,409 --> 00:31:09,619
He would, like, ride it,
not like an instrument,
545
00:31:09,619 --> 00:31:11,246
ride it like a piece
of machinery
546
00:31:11,371 --> 00:31:12,706
that he wanted to kill.
547
00:31:12,706 --> 00:31:14,541
There's no other like him.
548
00:31:14,666 --> 00:31:15,834
An absolute original.
549
00:31:15,834 --> 00:31:17,794
He internalized
and made it painful
550
00:31:17,794 --> 00:31:20,588
in how badly he wanted
our records to sound
551
00:31:20,714 --> 00:31:22,173
the best that they could.
552
00:31:24,467 --> 00:31:27,679
It became
really clear very early
553
00:31:27,679 --> 00:31:30,598
that you can't have everyone
554
00:31:30,598 --> 00:31:36,229
constantly having input
and the same amount of, like,
555
00:31:36,354 --> 00:31:40,984
jurisdiction or involvement
in the record-making process.
556
00:31:41,109 --> 00:31:44,362
Later at night,
it was a little easier
557
00:31:44,362 --> 00:31:46,990
to maybe think about it or--
you know what I mean?
558
00:31:47,115 --> 00:31:49,868
To see it
from a different perspective.
559
00:31:49,993 --> 00:31:51,619
We felt at ease with
each other's presence,
560
00:31:51,619 --> 00:31:54,205
and the same thing with you
coming in with the camera.
561
00:31:54,205 --> 00:31:56,958
I mean, how many times were we
recording and we look over,
562
00:31:57,083 --> 00:31:59,210
Stevie's in the corner
of the room, behind a plant,
563
00:31:59,210 --> 00:32:03,048
and has a mirror
and he's shooting my reflection!
564
00:32:03,173 --> 00:32:04,049
Wicked.
565
00:32:04,049 --> 00:32:07,886
Right now, we're battin'
a 10-song record,
566
00:32:08,011 --> 00:32:10,972
with this song in two parts,
making it 11.
567
00:32:10,972 --> 00:32:13,016
♪ Stevie won't
leave me alone! ♪
568
00:32:13,016 --> 00:32:14,893
That doesn't include,
Mama doesn't like it
569
00:32:14,893 --> 00:32:17,687
when you go downstairs.
570
00:32:17,812 --> 00:32:20,398
♪ Stevie won't leave me alone. ♪
571
00:32:20,398 --> 00:32:23,109

574
00:32:30,909 --> 00:32:32,160
If you're
already rolling,
575
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:33,995
people don't--
they forget that you're there,
576
00:32:33,995 --> 00:32:36,664
and then natural stuff
kind of happens.
577
00:32:36,790 --> 00:32:40,210
It's a really fine art to go in
and be part of somebody's life
578
00:32:40,210 --> 00:32:41,920
without interfering
with something special
579
00:32:42,045 --> 00:32:43,588
that's happening.
580
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:55,141
One more time.
Let's slow down.
581
00:32:55,141 --> 00:32:56,434
Keep that bit in.
582
00:32:56,434 --> 00:32:57,685
Oh, it's in A.
583
00:32:57,811 --> 00:32:59,437
No, the B string.
The B string.
584
00:33:02,607 --> 00:33:04,067
Play the whole D chord, buddy?
585
00:33:05,860 --> 00:33:07,445
It's goin' down now.
586
00:33:10,156 --> 00:33:11,533
I was
in the room,
587
00:33:11,533 --> 00:33:14,494
but I wasn't in the room,
if you know what I mean.
588
00:33:14,494 --> 00:33:16,037
Like, I was in the drum booth,
589
00:33:16,162 --> 00:33:18,581
so I couldn't always hear the
conversation that was happening.
590
00:33:18,707 --> 00:33:21,668
- It's getting hot in here.
- Let's get it hotter.
591
00:33:21,793 --> 00:33:23,503
JUSTIN I remember
the first version
592
00:33:23,503 --> 00:33:24,587
of "Almost Crimes."
593
00:33:24,713 --> 00:33:25,755
It wasn't called
"Almost Crimes."
594
00:33:25,755 --> 00:33:27,674
It was called, like,
"The Dinosaur Jr. Song,"
595
00:33:27,674 --> 00:33:29,884
'cause the original version
of that sounds exactly like
596
00:33:29,884 --> 00:33:31,636
a Dinosaur Jr. song.
597
00:34:23,730 --> 00:34:26,608
So, what does
that remind you of?
598
00:34:28,860 --> 00:34:33,448
My role in that band
was defined in that moment.
599
00:34:33,573 --> 00:34:37,118
You know, it's like,
I'm just yellin' at everybody;
600
00:34:37,243 --> 00:34:39,120
I'm like, "No, man,
that's not fuckin' good.
601
00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:40,872
"No, gotta do this,
gotta do this."
602
00:34:40,872 --> 00:34:42,624
Like, the song was
too fuckin' long.
603
00:34:42,624 --> 00:34:43,792
"Let's go.
Let's cut it.
604
00:34:43,917 --> 00:34:45,335
"Let's make
this fuckin' thing happen."
605
00:34:45,335 --> 00:34:48,505
And Kev's like, "Okay,
everyone's gotta be chill, man."
606
00:35:07,232 --> 00:35:08,608
Is that the chorus?
607
00:35:37,804 --> 00:35:40,265
Cranley likes to
be adjacent to the spotlight,
608
00:35:40,265 --> 00:35:43,101
and he'll make sure that
the person in the spotlight
609
00:35:43,101 --> 00:35:45,895
sounds fantastic
by what he does musically.
610
00:35:45,895 --> 00:35:49,399
Like, he made up an instrument:
two-stringed guitar, two-tar.
611
00:35:49,524 --> 00:35:52,152
Because there's four other dudes
playing a six-string guitar.
612
00:35:52,152 --> 00:35:54,362
That's the most
Cranley thing ever.
613
00:35:55,780 --> 00:35:57,615
Oh, yeah, yeah.
614
00:35:59,784 --> 00:36:01,494
That sounded pretty cool, eh?
615
00:36:01,619 --> 00:36:02,787
Yeah, yeah.
616
00:36:04,372 --> 00:36:07,709
Oh, shit!
That was a moment!
617
00:36:21,347 --> 00:36:23,475

00:36:34,611 --> 00:36:36,738
Of course, then
when Feist came in
622
00:36:36,738 --> 00:36:38,239
and heard what you had done
623
00:36:38,365 --> 00:36:40,742
and added her part,
then it was just like...
624
00:36:40,742 --> 00:36:42,827

The Afton aesthetic
and the 95 aesthetic
630
00:37:33,003 --> 00:37:34,295
kind of met here.
631
00:37:34,421 --> 00:37:38,383
So with the synths,
and the vocals, the saxophone,
632
00:37:38,508 --> 00:37:39,968
it started to feel
like something
633
00:37:40,093 --> 00:37:41,511
that had its own identity.
634
00:37:41,511 --> 00:37:43,638
There's a sort of
now-ness to it.
635
00:37:43,638 --> 00:37:46,850
We're living it.

But then
You Forgot it in People came out
642
00:38:14,002 --> 00:38:15,712
and we had to be a normal band.
643
00:38:15,837 --> 00:38:17,005

647
00:38:42,405 --> 00:38:44,157

Social Scene, and specifically
You Forgot it in People,
650
00:38:49,412 --> 00:38:52,248

that was, you know,
651
00:38:52,374 --> 00:38:54,292
musically quite transformative,
652
00:38:54,292 --> 00:38:59,047

traditional commercial box.

Kev's obviously
a massive glue factor

693
00:41:08,802 --> 00:41:11,888

even though he wasn't,
but he was.
696
00:41:16,017 --> 00:41:17,936
You know, he absolutely was.
697
00:41:17,936 --> 00:41:20,605
We had
the right chemistry,
698
00:41:20,605 --> 00:41:23,733
especially with Brendan
and Jason Collett and Leslie.
699
00:41:23,858 --> 00:41:26,152
Like, people that had been
doing it for so long,
700
00:41:26,152 --> 00:41:29,155
and we had a nice parallel
of people that had been there
701
00:41:29,155 --> 00:41:33,034
and done it and those who
were eager to just get started.
702
00:41:33,034 --> 00:41:35,662
And then we did
a song called "Build."
703
00:41:35,662 --> 00:41:38,039
♪ Build, you've got to
learn how to build. ♪
704
00:41:39,833 --> 00:41:42,127
♪ You've got to change,
change and build! ♪
705
00:41:59,936 --> 00:42:05,108
Circus of Sour...!
706
00:42:06,818 --> 00:42:09,195
And the covers.
The covers!.
707
00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:10,822
Have you ever seen Shrek?
708
00:42:27,005 --> 00:42:30,258
I was just
following the fun opportunities.
709
00:42:30,258 --> 00:42:31,342
These are rubles.
710
00:42:31,468 --> 00:42:32,927
- Rubles?
- Yeah!
711
00:42:32,927 --> 00:42:35,221
I mean,
there was no "making it."
712
00:42:35,221 --> 00:42:36,556
There was actually no thought
713
00:42:36,556 --> 00:42:38,600
that that would even be
anywhere on the table,
714
00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:40,351
near the table,
the table adjacent.
715
00:42:40,477 --> 00:42:42,771
There was no making a living
playing music
716
00:42:42,771 --> 00:42:45,398
that was, at all, on my mind.
717
00:42:45,398 --> 00:42:47,942
I was working any way
I could to pay my rent,
718
00:42:47,942 --> 00:42:50,028
but none of those ways
were music.
719
00:42:50,028 --> 00:42:52,947
The feeling was,
there's something really cool
720
00:42:53,073 --> 00:42:56,242
to get to do with friends,
and I'm gonna go do that.
721
00:42:56,242 --> 00:42:57,452
You know what I mean?
722
00:42:57,452 --> 00:42:58,912
One gig to the next.
723
00:43:08,213 --> 00:43:11,216
Like, I was
seven years older than you,
724
00:43:11,216 --> 00:43:13,468
so maybe I have a different
perspective on, like,
725
00:43:13,593 --> 00:43:14,803
music success.
726
00:43:14,928 --> 00:43:16,638
Right.
You'd gotten close to something
727
00:43:16,638 --> 00:43:18,264
that you thought was success.
728
00:43:18,264 --> 00:43:19,724
Yeah, like a bunch of times.
729
00:43:19,849 --> 00:43:21,893
So, it's like, "Fuck,
like, I'm in my 30s.
730
00:43:21,893 --> 00:43:24,312
"I have no backup plan.
Like, this shit has to work."
731
00:43:24,312 --> 00:43:25,480
You know?
732
00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:27,065
But that
does explain a lot,
733
00:43:27,065 --> 00:43:30,860
that if you were already in your
30s and I was in my early 20s,
734
00:43:30,985 --> 00:43:32,404
that's exactly the cognitive
difference between,
735
00:43:32,404 --> 00:43:33,655
"What are we doing here?"
736
00:43:33,655 --> 00:43:35,699
I don't think
I felt I had to leave,
737
00:43:35,824 --> 00:43:36,950
but I just kept leaving.
738
00:43:37,075 --> 00:43:39,160
["Anthems for a
Seventeen-Year-Old Girl"
739
00:43:39,285 --> 00:43:40,829
by Broken Social Scene]
740
00:43:48,336 --> 00:43:51,172
There were a lot
of challenges at that time.
741
00:43:51,297 --> 00:43:53,967
There was a major label system
that was sort of a disrespected
742
00:43:53,967 --> 00:43:57,137
Canadian offshoot
of the major labels.
743
00:43:57,262 --> 00:44:00,140
Distribution was really,
like, an obstacle.
744
00:44:00,265 --> 00:44:02,934
You just had to, like,
kiss all these weird asses.
745
00:44:02,934 --> 00:44:05,228
And it was just like...
746
00:44:05,228 --> 00:44:07,981
I mean, you know me;
I was just like, "No."
747
00:44:07,981 --> 00:44:10,525
"I'm not doing that.
It's ridiculous."
748
00:44:10,525 --> 00:44:13,987
And that's why
Jimmy and I went to New York.
749
00:44:13,987 --> 00:44:16,698
We felt if we wanted to do
it on a global scale,
750
00:44:16,823 --> 00:44:19,868
we couldn't do it here.
751
00:44:19,868 --> 00:44:23,121
I remember
Lula Lounge.
752
00:44:23,121 --> 00:44:27,292
It was the CD release party,
and Emily and Leslie were away.
753
00:44:27,292 --> 00:44:29,544
I had to fill both shoes.
754
00:44:29,544 --> 00:44:31,713
Well, I'd been singing
with Emily since I'm 15.
755
00:44:31,713 --> 00:44:35,884
I've sung with her so much
that I know how to sing along
756
00:44:35,884 --> 00:44:39,054
in my mind with how
she would be as a person.
757
00:44:43,933 --> 00:44:47,479
She'd been
my best friend since I was 15.
758
00:44:47,479 --> 00:44:49,272
But I remember Peroff,
like, behind the scenes,
759
00:44:49,397 --> 00:44:52,525
being like, "Okay, like,
'Anthems,' like, you know,
760
00:44:52,525 --> 00:44:54,527
"it's not lackadaisical.
Like, it's on the beat!
761
00:44:54,527 --> 00:44:56,655
"You've gotta, like,
you know, keep"--
762
00:44:56,655 --> 00:44:58,531
You know, it's like,
"Stay on the beat."
763
00:44:58,657 --> 00:45:00,325
And I just remember
being under, like,
764
00:45:00,450 --> 00:45:05,205
an incredible amount of pressure
to, like, pull off both humans.

I'm always trying to do

00:45:26,393 --> 00:45:28,645
is just be where I am
772
00:45:28,645 --> 00:45:33,066
and let the voices
of fear leave.

as much as you can be.
778
00:46:47,932 --> 00:46:49,851
So,
the Broken Social Scene
779
00:46:49,976 --> 00:46:51,186
is really causing a stir.
780
00:46:51,186 --> 00:46:53,980
They've gotten three
5 out of 5 star reviews
781
00:46:53,980 --> 00:46:56,149
in the Toronto Area,
and they're pretty hot, eh?
782
00:46:56,274 --> 00:46:58,401
That's
right, and well-deserved.
783
00:46:58,401 --> 00:47:00,612
A very strange collective.
784
00:47:00,612 --> 00:47:02,781
They started out
with a core of two members,
785
00:47:02,781 --> 00:47:04,491
but they've expanded
on their second album,
786
00:47:04,491 --> 00:47:07,744
called You Forgot it in People,
to a ten-member band.

00:47:59,796 --> 00:48:01,881
Oh my God!
792
00:48:02,007 --> 00:48:04,718
You probably didn't realize
that that conversation
793
00:48:04,718 --> 00:48:05,844
was being recorded.
794
00:48:05,844 --> 00:48:07,721
Uh...
795
00:48:07,846 --> 00:48:09,681
I mean, I don't remember
that conversation,
796
00:48:09,681 --> 00:48:12,809
but there were many
conversations like that.
797
00:48:12,809 --> 00:48:14,227
It was, um...
798
00:48:15,895 --> 00:48:17,689
Holy shit, Chung.
799
00:48:17,689 --> 00:48:19,607
I like
to be called David Drew.
800
00:48:19,733 --> 00:48:21,484
I went through
this whole period of life
801
00:48:21,484 --> 00:48:24,070
when I had first got involved
with Broken Social Scene
802
00:48:24,070 --> 00:48:26,281
being introduced
as Kevin Drew's father.
803
00:48:26,406 --> 00:48:28,199
I was nameless.
804
00:48:28,199 --> 00:48:31,786
Kevin decided
that he needed help.
805
00:48:31,911 --> 00:48:34,331
"Can you help me
with the band's finances?
806
00:48:34,456 --> 00:48:37,042
"Can you give me some advice
about the record label?"
807
00:48:37,042 --> 00:48:39,127
You know,
Kevin now constantly says,
808
00:48:39,252 --> 00:48:41,046
"I've saved your life,
you know?"
809
00:48:41,046 --> 00:48:43,882
And there are times
when I've said to him,
810
00:48:43,882 --> 00:48:45,425
"You know what?
Enough of the life-saving.
811
00:48:45,425 --> 00:48:47,761
"You know, this stuff gets
a bit overwhelming sometimes."
812
00:48:54,142 --> 00:48:58,104
It's a
post-Napster, pre-iTunes world.
813
00:48:58,104 --> 00:49:00,774
Large music companies
were focused on
814
00:49:00,774 --> 00:49:03,818
shifting environments
that were scary.
815
00:49:03,943 --> 00:49:05,111
With Remedios,
816
00:49:05,111 --> 00:49:07,155
it's one of those things
where you immediately go,
817
00:49:07,280 --> 00:49:09,574
"Okay, we're getting married
and this is gonna be a marriage.
818
00:49:09,574 --> 00:49:12,035
"There's gonna be good times
and there's gonna be bad."
819
00:49:12,035 --> 00:49:14,454
He gave up so much
to come and be with us,
820
00:49:14,454 --> 00:49:16,081
and he just pushed
everything forward,
821
00:49:16,081 --> 00:49:18,792
and then he also did everything
he said he was gonna do.
822
00:49:18,917 --> 00:49:20,335
I remember
telling my parents,
823
00:49:20,460 --> 00:49:22,087
"I'm leaving
my really stable job
824
00:49:22,087 --> 00:49:23,797
"to go partner with
this musician, Kevin."
825
00:49:23,922 --> 00:49:25,465
That was when
everything kicked off
826
00:49:25,590 --> 00:49:28,009
with Broken Social Scene
and Arts and Crafts.
827
00:49:28,009 --> 00:49:30,136
Kevin introduced
me to him, and clearly,
828
00:49:30,261 --> 00:49:32,138
you know, this was a driven guy.
829
00:49:32,263 --> 00:49:34,474
He was charming,
to say the least.
830
00:49:34,474 --> 00:49:37,519
If I was gonna get a business
partner again in my life,
831
00:49:37,644 --> 00:49:38,686
Jeffrey would be fine.
832
00:49:38,812 --> 00:49:40,021
But he's too
good-looking for me.
833
00:49:40,021 --> 00:49:42,148
Yeah, I'd have to get
someone slightly uglier.
834
00:49:42,148 --> 00:49:44,651
In Jeffrey, you
had this guy who had worked
835
00:49:44,776 --> 00:49:45,860
in the traditional label system,
836
00:49:45,985 --> 00:49:48,113
but unlike a lot of people
in the music industry,
837
00:49:48,113 --> 00:49:49,656
Jeffrey wasn't afraid
of the internet.
838
00:49:49,781 --> 00:49:50,990
He really embraced it.
839
00:49:50,990 --> 00:49:53,493
And so, he really saw
the internet as a way of, like,
840
00:49:53,618 --> 00:49:55,954
turning fans into ambassadors
for this group.
841
00:49:57,497 --> 00:50:00,041
The exuberance
of something totally new
842
00:50:00,041 --> 00:50:01,334
and totally fresh.
843
00:50:01,459 --> 00:50:03,545
People were hip to it
and excited by it.
844
00:50:03,545 --> 00:50:05,296
It was
almost instantaneous.
845
00:50:05,296 --> 00:50:07,382
They'd have a really good crowd.
846
00:50:07,507 --> 00:50:10,719
You know, friends,
family, and then fans.
847
00:50:23,732 --> 00:50:24,983
Thank you.
Everything's okay here?
848
00:50:24,983 --> 00:50:26,151
Everything's fine.
849
00:50:26,151 --> 00:50:28,403
I'm just trying to find
a spot with some light
850
00:50:28,528 --> 00:50:29,404
to put your gear.
851
00:50:29,404 --> 00:50:31,072
Like I said,
there's no favourites here.
852
00:50:31,197 --> 00:50:32,490
- There's no favourites?
- No.
853
00:50:32,490 --> 00:50:34,784
But she's the mother
of the lead singer!
854
00:50:34,784 --> 00:50:36,077
Of the bride.
855
00:50:36,077 --> 00:50:38,163
I have to ask you
a question, then.
856
00:50:38,163 --> 00:50:40,123
What's your favourite thing
about Broken Social Scene?
857
00:50:40,123 --> 00:50:42,375
Uh, they don't
live in my house anymore.
858
00:51:06,566 --> 00:51:08,610
Why do I have
a mic in my pocket?
859
00:51:08,735 --> 00:51:11,112
Chung, did you put that thing
in my back pocket?
860
00:51:11,237 --> 00:51:13,490
I'm all wired!
861
00:51:13,615 --> 00:51:15,075
This
was like a hometown,
862
00:51:15,075 --> 00:51:16,534
just pre-holiday show.
863
00:51:16,534 --> 00:51:18,703
Biggest venue I think
they'd ever done in town.
864
00:51:18,703 --> 00:51:20,288

Thanks for comin'.
910

As much
as I had some of the best
911
00:54:56,171 --> 00:54:58,298
live experiences
being on stage with that band,
912
00:54:58,423 --> 00:55:01,301
I also had some of the best
backstage experiences.
913
00:55:01,301 --> 00:55:03,428
The show never fuckin' stopped.
914
00:55:03,428 --> 00:55:04,929
I have this memory,
915
00:55:04,929 --> 00:55:07,640
they did back-to-back nights,
and the first night, like,
916
00:55:07,766 --> 00:55:11,644
the backstage
was just total chaos.
917
00:55:11,644 --> 00:55:14,356
Me, too!
Don't forget about me, Stevie!
918
00:55:14,481 --> 00:55:16,358
Don't forget about me, alright?
919
00:55:16,483 --> 00:55:17,942
I'm here!
Talking shit!
920
00:55:18,068 --> 00:55:20,070
The second
night's show, and they said,
921
00:55:20,070 --> 00:55:22,530
"Alright, listen, it needs to be
a closed backstage tonight.
922
00:55:22,530 --> 00:55:24,491
"Like, nobody's
coming in tonight,
923
00:55:24,616 --> 00:55:27,661
"except for this person,
and except for that person.
924
00:55:27,661 --> 00:55:30,163
"And except for, like,
you know, indie rockers."
925
00:55:30,163 --> 00:55:32,624
Okay, so, uh,
it's a totally open backstage!
926
00:55:32,624 --> 00:55:34,167
I was pretty cocky
last night.
927
00:55:34,167 --> 00:55:36,002
I'd give myself a 9.5 out of 10.
928
00:55:36,127 --> 00:55:38,213
Oh, yeah?
929
00:55:38,213 --> 00:55:41,049
At that time,
they were, like,
930
00:55:41,049 --> 00:55:43,677
both mayors of our scene
in the city.
931
00:55:43,802 --> 00:55:47,347
This will never, ever,
ever, ever happen again.
932
00:55:47,472 --> 00:55:50,600
So let's just know that
all we have is right now.
933
00:55:52,143 --> 00:55:54,187
Always, man.
Always and forever.
934
00:55:54,312 --> 00:55:56,356
Chungie, I'm so glad
you were there tonight.
935
00:55:56,481 --> 00:55:58,525
- Yeah. You know?
- I am, too.
936
00:55:58,650 --> 00:56:01,319
- Are you Broken Social Scene?
- Yes.
937
00:56:01,319 --> 00:56:03,029
Why is everyone
comin' to our house?
938
00:56:03,154 --> 00:56:04,197
'Cause you fuckin' said,
939
00:56:04,322 --> 00:56:06,533
invited people back
to our house to smoke pot.
940
00:56:06,533 --> 00:56:08,034
That's a big crowd...
941
00:56:08,159 --> 00:56:09,869
Yeah, and I have no idea why.
942
00:56:09,994 --> 00:56:13,039
Things
got a little, like, nuts.
943
00:56:13,164 --> 00:56:17,043
I wasn't always happy
with the people hanging out.
944
00:56:17,043 --> 00:56:18,712
The crowd started to change
945
00:56:18,837 --> 00:56:21,548
and the people who came over
started to change.
946
00:56:21,548 --> 00:56:24,175
The community
part of it diluted.
947
00:56:24,175 --> 00:56:26,886
It became something different.
948
00:56:26,886 --> 00:56:30,014
It's an age-old
tale of changing times.
949
00:56:30,014 --> 00:56:31,516
I don't think it's, like--
950
00:56:31,516 --> 00:56:33,393
I don't think there's
anything tragic about it.
951
00:56:33,393 --> 00:56:35,270
I think it's amazing,
what happened,
952
00:56:35,395 --> 00:56:37,313
'cause we all wanted
something to happen.
953
00:56:37,313 --> 00:56:38,481
And it did.
954
00:56:45,447 --> 00:56:48,116
We were
all toiling away in Canada
955
00:56:48,241 --> 00:56:50,702
at a time where
people didn't pay much
956
00:56:50,702 --> 00:56:53,580
mind to Canadian music
internationally.
957
00:56:53,580 --> 00:56:56,124
The band was in the right place
at the right time
958
00:56:56,249 --> 00:56:58,418
and made the right record.
959
00:56:58,543 --> 00:57:00,545
That was
the first BSS video.
960
00:57:00,545 --> 00:57:03,131
That was probably before
anything had happened.
961
00:57:03,256 --> 00:57:04,966
It's gonna be
an art/cult video.
962
00:57:04,966 --> 00:57:08,136
In this backyard, everyone
will be wearing camouflage.
963
00:57:08,261 --> 00:57:10,680
We're gonna do band performance
and we're gonna mock
964
00:57:10,680 --> 00:57:13,224
sort of the whole band
performance stylization of it.
965
00:57:13,224 --> 00:57:16,019
What we're gonna be doing down
at the bottom of that hill
966
00:57:16,019 --> 00:57:18,646
over there is we're gonna have
an orange screen in the back,
967
00:57:18,772 --> 00:57:20,398
and we're gonna do
the band performance
968
00:57:20,398 --> 00:57:22,442
with everyone rocking out
with bags over their heads.
969
00:57:22,442 --> 00:57:24,027
What's with
the bags on our heads?
970
00:57:24,027 --> 00:57:25,153
The bags on our heads?
971
00:57:25,278 --> 00:57:26,863
What do you mean
what's with them?
972
00:57:26,863 --> 00:57:27,864
It just makes it better.
973
00:57:27,864 --> 00:57:30,075
Can we cut
holes in this for eyes?
974
00:57:30,075 --> 00:57:33,161
'Cause that'll freak me out
if I have a bag over my head
975
00:57:33,286 --> 00:57:34,329
the whole time.
976
00:57:34,454 --> 00:57:35,955
I'm gonna get all
claustrophobic and weird.
977
00:57:35,955 --> 00:57:38,333
And then that
crazy Pitchfork Media review.
978
00:57:38,458 --> 00:57:39,668
Who the fuck is Pitchfork?
979
00:57:39,668 --> 00:57:41,336
When the Pitchfork
review came in,
980
00:57:41,336 --> 00:57:43,213
it was like
a different world to me,
981
00:57:43,213 --> 00:57:45,173
'cause it was like
reviews on the internet,
982
00:57:45,298 --> 00:57:46,675
which I normally was like,
983
00:57:46,675 --> 00:57:49,010
"Did we get written up
in the Toronto Star?"
984
00:57:49,010 --> 00:57:52,138
It's like, "No, don't worry
about your print anymore."
985
00:57:53,890 --> 00:57:56,810
Basically
when I got online in 1994,
986
00:57:56,810 --> 00:57:59,020
I was kind of seeing, like,
"This internet thing
987
00:57:59,145 --> 00:58:01,481
"has a lot of potential
as a publishing platform."
988
00:58:01,481 --> 00:58:03,733
I kind of felt a little
bit of a responsibility
989
00:58:03,733 --> 00:58:06,486
because we had such
a megaphone within this world.
990
00:58:06,486 --> 00:58:09,781
And I was hugely passionate
about indie music.
991
00:58:09,781 --> 00:58:12,784
2002, and I'm digging
through all of these CDs,
992
00:58:12,784 --> 00:58:14,786
and I come across
Broken Social Scene,
993
00:58:14,786 --> 00:58:16,621
You Forgot it in People,
and I'm like,
994
00:58:16,621 --> 00:58:18,123
"God, that is
a terrible band name."
995
00:58:18,123 --> 00:58:20,667
From the moment it comes on,
that record is amazing!
996
00:58:20,667 --> 00:58:22,669
It's got this lush,
beautiful intro,
997
00:58:22,669 --> 00:58:25,296
and then it just kicks in
and it doesn't stop.
998
00:58:30,719 --> 00:58:35,223
♪ And they all
want to love the cause ♪
999
00:58:37,308 --> 00:58:39,519
♪ They all need to be... ♪
1000
00:58:39,519 --> 00:58:42,188
I think
I gave it a 9.1 or a 9.2,
1001
00:58:42,313 --> 00:58:43,481
something just over a 9.
1002
00:58:43,481 --> 00:58:45,567
At this point, though,
Pitchfork's readership is maybe,
1003
00:58:45,692 --> 00:58:47,569
like, 50,000 people a day.
1004
00:58:47,569 --> 00:58:49,821
50,000 a day seems like a lot.
1005
00:58:49,821 --> 00:58:51,531
I didn't
have the internet.
1006
00:58:51,531 --> 00:58:52,907
I didn't have a cell phone.
1007
00:58:52,907 --> 00:58:55,744
Suddenly, this website
changed the game for us.
1008
00:58:55,744 --> 00:58:58,121
So when
Pitchfork slaps a 9.2
1009
00:58:58,121 --> 00:59:01,458
on this unknown band
from Canada with a weird name,
1010
00:59:01,458 --> 00:59:03,710
it really piqued
a lot of people's interest.
1011
00:59:03,710 --> 00:59:05,587
Like, "Who the fuck
are these guys?
1012
00:59:05,712 --> 00:59:07,964
"You know, they're not Wilco.
They're not Radiohead.
1013
00:59:07,964 --> 00:59:10,884
"I need to seek
this out right away."
1014
00:59:10,884 --> 00:59:13,344
It was timed so well
that two months later
1015
00:59:13,344 --> 00:59:15,263
we were on the road,
and everywhere we went
1016
00:59:15,388 --> 00:59:16,681
it was basically just sold out.
1017
00:59:27,901 --> 00:59:29,527
We were excited about,
1018
00:59:29,527 --> 00:59:31,655
you know, playing around town.
1019
00:59:31,655 --> 00:59:34,699
Suddenly, you can just
play anywhere in the world.
1020
01:00:05,939 --> 01:00:07,941
We caught America so off-guard
1021
01:00:08,066 --> 01:00:11,403
that Canada snuck in somehow
with the indie rock explosion.
1022
01:00:11,403 --> 01:00:13,113
This record was growing.
1023
01:00:13,238 --> 01:00:14,114
It was global.
1024
01:00:14,114 --> 01:00:16,116
It was getting bigger
and bigger and bigger.
1025
01:00:16,116 --> 01:00:17,617
All the shows were sold out.
1026
01:00:17,742 --> 01:00:19,703
These
festivals that we played, like,
1027
01:00:19,703 --> 01:00:21,830
early days in Europe,
were just like that phrase,
1028
01:00:21,955 --> 01:00:24,666
like just a rag-tag
group of kids, you know?
1029
01:00:24,666 --> 01:00:26,251
Holland, Holland.
1030
01:00:26,251 --> 01:00:27,460
Jimmy in Holland.
1031
01:00:38,930 --> 01:00:41,433
And when
you're all new to the game,
1032
01:00:41,433 --> 01:00:42,684
everyone's new.
1033
01:00:42,809 --> 01:00:44,602
Like, even Jeffrey had
never managed a band before.
1034
01:00:44,602 --> 01:00:46,312
He had worked;
he was label side.
1035
01:00:46,438 --> 01:00:47,439
It's not easy.
1036
01:01:07,292 --> 01:01:08,835
We got a bag of those?
1037
01:01:08,960 --> 01:01:10,795
Everyone was
trying to figure it out.
1038
01:01:10,795 --> 01:01:11,880
What can we afford?
1039
01:01:12,005 --> 01:01:14,215
How many people
could we afford to bring?
1040
01:01:14,340 --> 01:01:16,384
It was usually like "one more
musician versus lights,"
1041
01:01:16,384 --> 01:01:19,095
was typically how it all went.
1042
01:01:19,220 --> 01:01:22,182
No one knew
what the fuck we were doing.
1043
01:01:43,578 --> 01:01:45,205
You guys got an adventure.
1044
01:01:45,330 --> 01:01:47,707
Yeah, I'm all for that.
1045
01:01:47,707 --> 01:01:51,294
Seeing the world through
this shuttle bus
1046
01:01:51,294 --> 01:01:56,049
scenario of teenage heartbeat,
summer camp, music.
1047
01:02:13,024 --> 01:02:14,818
We have
a successful record.
1048
01:02:14,818 --> 01:02:18,446
It catches heat in America,
then it catches heat in the UK,
1049
01:02:18,446 --> 01:02:21,700
then it catches heat in Europe,
and then you're going to Japan;
1050
01:02:21,700 --> 01:02:23,076
you're kind of playing catch-up.
1051
01:02:23,201 --> 01:02:25,412
And then, you know,
we also gotta get
1052
01:02:25,537 --> 01:02:26,955
the next record out the door.
1053
01:02:27,080 --> 01:02:28,873
When they had to
make the follow-up record,
1054
01:02:28,873 --> 01:02:30,959
what became
the self-titled record,
1055
01:02:31,084 --> 01:02:33,253
they would jump into
the studio when they had, like,
1056
01:02:33,378 --> 01:02:34,295
an extra spare day off.
1057
01:02:34,295 --> 01:02:36,131
We didn't have that
sort of consistent window
1058
01:02:36,256 --> 01:02:38,007
in their creative process
at that time.
1059
01:02:38,133 --> 01:02:39,884
- Can we hear that, too?
- Yeah.
1060
01:02:39,884 --> 01:02:41,553
So just let it ring.
1061
01:02:41,553 --> 01:02:43,388
The beat's so groovy
in this, man.
1062
01:02:43,388 --> 01:02:46,433
Justin, I know
I talked to a lot of bands
1063
01:02:46,558 --> 01:02:48,768
about how
when they heard his rhythms,
1064
01:02:48,768 --> 01:02:50,812
it changed the way
they wanted to play.
1065
01:02:50,937 --> 01:02:52,313
Hey, you
know what, guys?
1066
01:02:52,439 --> 01:02:54,816
Do another version,
and remember, this time,
1067
01:02:54,816 --> 01:02:57,152
it sounds so good
when there's lots of space, too.
1068
01:02:57,152 --> 01:02:59,362
You too, Brendan.
You hear that, too?
1069
01:02:59,362 --> 01:03:01,322
- Yeah.
- So just let it ring.
1070
01:03:01,322 --> 01:03:03,408
You've got
a producer like Dave Newfeld
1071
01:03:03,408 --> 01:03:06,411
colouring in a lot of the lines
when we would go on tour,
1072
01:03:06,411 --> 01:03:09,414
and we'd come back and we'd
be like, "Oh, this is great.
1073
01:03:09,414 --> 01:03:10,832
"This sounds like
your song now."
1074
01:03:10,957 --> 01:03:12,917
He wanted
everything to sound as great
1075
01:03:12,917 --> 01:03:14,836
as it possibly could,
and it was intense,
1076
01:03:14,836 --> 01:03:17,464
but then the results, and just
being around that energy,
1077
01:03:17,589 --> 01:03:19,799
it worked.
1078
01:03:44,157 --> 01:03:46,326
- We were very burnt out.
- At that point?
1079
01:03:46,451 --> 01:03:47,952
What about now?!
1080
01:03:49,162 --> 01:03:50,955
I think we'll always be
burnt out, too.
1081
01:03:50,955 --> 01:03:52,999
It seems to be the way
I'm looking for.
1082
01:03:52,999 --> 01:03:55,043
I don't want to tour
this fall, but Canning...
1083
01:03:55,168 --> 01:03:56,795
Canning's insisting
that we're going to.
1084
01:03:56,795 --> 01:03:58,797
It's back to school.
It's back to school.
1085
01:03:58,797 --> 01:03:59,923
Back to school.
Apparently.
1086
01:04:02,092 --> 01:04:03,927
All you
ask for in life
1087
01:04:03,927 --> 01:04:05,804
is just to try
to make it simple,
1088
01:04:05,804 --> 01:04:07,972
and this band is not that.
1089
01:04:07,972 --> 01:04:10,809
Kevin and
Brendan had to be at the whim
1090
01:04:10,809 --> 01:04:15,188
of these other entities
that were ambitious.
1091
01:04:15,188 --> 01:04:16,231
Metric...
1092
01:04:16,356 --> 01:04:17,983
I'm gonna play
a coliseum in Croatia.
1093
01:04:18,108 --> 01:04:20,360
The timing couldn't be worse.
It's writing.
1094
01:04:20,485 --> 01:04:21,361
Stars...
1095
01:04:21,486 --> 01:04:23,029
We're
goin' away on Friday.
1096
01:04:23,154 --> 01:04:24,823
Feist...
1097
01:04:24,823 --> 01:04:26,700
They had people,
and then they didn't.
1098
01:04:26,825 --> 01:04:28,451
By this point,
Broken Social Scene had hired
1099
01:04:28,451 --> 01:04:31,746
Lisa Lobsinger to be
the female voice of the band.
1100
01:04:31,871 --> 01:04:34,582
Emily, Amy, and Feist
weren't available as much.
1101
01:04:34,582 --> 01:04:36,209
But Lobby
sort of came
1102
01:04:36,334 --> 01:04:39,546
and allowed us
to continue on,
1103
01:04:39,546 --> 01:04:41,423
and she sang
other people's songs,
1104
01:04:41,548 --> 01:04:42,841
and she took on a lot.
1105
01:04:42,966 --> 01:04:45,927
Some of the best times I had
on the road were with her.
1106
01:04:45,927 --> 01:04:48,221
I think the original
architecture
1107
01:04:48,221 --> 01:04:51,891
of what Broken Social Scene was
wasn't a band, but it was,
1108
01:04:52,016 --> 01:04:53,560
"How do you tour this thing?"
1109
01:04:53,685 --> 01:04:55,603
I'd see
a tour announcement come up
1110
01:04:55,729 --> 01:04:58,690
and I'd look at the tour
and call up Kevin and be like,
1111
01:04:58,815 --> 01:05:01,026
"Alright, man,
I'm gonna come to LA, San Diego,
1112
01:05:01,026 --> 01:05:02,944
"I'll do New York, Boston,
1113
01:05:03,069 --> 01:05:05,947
"as long as it's a tour bus,
I'm gonna take three days off,
1114
01:05:06,072 --> 01:05:08,199
"and then I'm gonna do
the three European festivals."
1115
01:05:08,324 --> 01:05:11,661
And he's like, "Sure, man.
I'll make it work. For you."
1116
01:05:11,661 --> 01:05:13,997
Super hungover!
1117
01:05:14,956 --> 01:05:16,207
Now you've got
1118
01:05:16,207 --> 01:05:17,751
all these ego-driven
personalities,
1119
01:05:17,876 --> 01:05:20,211
myself included;
it's tricky manoeuvring.
1120
01:05:20,211 --> 01:05:23,089
You never know who's gonna
show up from tour to tour.
1121
01:05:23,089 --> 01:05:26,092
There was
a tour we did where, like,
1122
01:05:26,092 --> 01:05:28,428
Emily, Amy, Leslie,
none of them were available.
1123
01:05:28,428 --> 01:05:29,596
It was pre-Lobsinger.
1124
01:05:29,596 --> 01:05:31,222
And so, we solved this problem
1125
01:05:31,222 --> 01:05:33,600
by getting
the promoter in each town
1126
01:05:33,600 --> 01:05:36,811
to find a local woman singer.
1127
01:05:36,936 --> 01:05:38,730
We did it in Singapore.
1128
01:05:38,730 --> 01:05:40,774
We did this in Mexico City.
1129
01:05:40,899 --> 01:05:42,609
Yeah, you know
what I'm talkin' about.
1130
01:05:42,734 --> 01:05:45,820
- Hi, Chungie.
- Hi, Stevie.
1131
01:05:45,945 --> 01:05:47,864
Um,
how should we do this?
1132
01:05:47,864 --> 01:05:49,324
We could
do a song each.
1133
01:05:49,324 --> 01:05:51,701
But it's kinda nice for "7/4"
to have everybody sing,
1134
01:05:51,701 --> 01:05:53,620
it's comin' in hard,
and stuff like that.
1135
01:05:53,620 --> 01:05:54,829
Yeah, "7/4"...
1136
01:05:54,954 --> 01:05:57,207
- We can all sing!
- We can have both of you, yeah.
1137
01:05:57,207 --> 01:05:59,626
And then "Almost Crimes,"
you can kill it.
1138
01:05:59,626 --> 01:06:01,127
- Okay.
- Awesome.
1139
01:06:01,127 --> 01:06:02,962
We gotta get some horn players.
1140
01:06:02,962 --> 01:06:04,464
We're just gonna
go to Mariachi Square
1141
01:06:04,464 --> 01:06:05,840
and try and find some.
1142
01:06:10,428 --> 01:06:13,098
They want 3,200
for the whole group.
1143
01:06:13,098 --> 01:06:14,974
They won't separate.
And that's for an hour.
1144
01:06:14,974 --> 01:06:16,851
- We need a Plan B.
- Yeah.
1145
01:06:16,851 --> 01:06:19,688
We need horns, man.
We need horns.
1146
01:06:19,688 --> 01:06:21,898
- What happened?
- Three.
1147
01:06:21,898 --> 01:06:24,025
200 bucks, and they're gonna
stay for the four songs.
1148
01:06:24,025 --> 01:06:25,652
They're gonna
be there at 11, too.
1149
01:06:25,777 --> 01:06:27,654
I can't believe
we just got some guy.
1150
01:06:27,654 --> 01:06:31,533
Five, six, seven, one, two,
three, four, five, six, seven.
1151
01:06:35,912 --> 01:06:36,996
- That's it.
- That's it.
1152
01:06:36,996 --> 01:06:38,373
That's one song!
1153
01:06:38,498 --> 01:06:40,083
- That's all there is to it.
- That's it.
1154
01:06:41,167 --> 01:06:42,961
Do you have it in writing?
1155
01:06:42,961 --> 01:06:44,879
I don't.
I can try and write it out.
1156
01:06:44,879 --> 01:06:46,256
That sprawling collective
1157
01:06:46,256 --> 01:06:48,925
of a revolving door
of musicians coming and going,
1158
01:06:48,925 --> 01:06:50,301
that's hard to sustain.
1159
01:06:50,301 --> 01:06:52,470
'Cause
it's in trumpet language.
1160
01:06:52,470 --> 01:06:54,556
I can transpose it.
1161
01:06:54,681 --> 01:06:55,974
It's really difficult
1162
01:06:55,974 --> 01:06:58,351
to put that much chaos on stage.
1163
01:06:58,476 --> 01:07:02,397
You can't just remove the chaos
because it's built on chaos.
1164
01:07:02,522 --> 01:07:04,441
It was a little much.
1165
01:07:04,441 --> 01:07:05,650
It was a little much.
1166
01:07:05,650 --> 01:07:08,653
Social Scene
has never been able to control
1167
01:07:08,653 --> 01:07:11,364
our presentation of ourselves.
1168
01:07:11,364 --> 01:07:13,116
We've never been able to do it.
1169
01:07:13,116 --> 01:07:16,161
♪ It's a shoreline ♪
1170
01:07:16,161 --> 01:07:20,707
♪ And it's half speed ♪
1171
01:07:20,707 --> 01:07:25,670
♪ It's a cruel world ♪
1172
01:07:28,214 --> 01:07:30,592
♪ And it's time... ♪
1173
01:07:53,698 --> 01:07:55,533
Our lives
were just kinda like...
1174
01:07:58,244 --> 01:08:01,247
They were away a lot more.
I was doing things here.
1175
01:08:01,247 --> 01:08:03,249
Brendan and Kevin
got what they wanted:
1176
01:08:03,249 --> 01:08:05,210
they were able to survive
off their art.
1177
01:08:05,210 --> 01:08:08,922
They were given more access to
keep creating and doing things.
1178
01:08:08,922 --> 01:08:10,590
Thank you
so much, everybody!
1179
01:08:12,050 --> 01:08:14,219
I had
two kids at that time,
1180
01:08:14,219 --> 01:08:15,762
and hangin' out
with your buddies,
1181
01:08:15,762 --> 01:08:17,263
smoking pot and taking pictures,
1182
01:08:17,263 --> 01:08:19,641
was just not gonna happen
at that point in time.
1183
01:08:19,641 --> 01:08:20,684
That's not a job.
1184
01:08:20,684 --> 01:08:22,852
No! You guys were
jettin' all over the place.
1185
01:08:22,852 --> 01:08:26,439
Nine, ten...
Check, one, two...
1186
01:08:26,439 --> 01:08:28,400
Everybody's hungry,
so I have 20 meals
1187
01:08:28,400 --> 01:08:30,443
being brought over
to the Q101 stage.
1188
01:08:30,443 --> 01:08:33,321
We're all leaving here
right now on golf carts.
1189
01:08:33,321 --> 01:08:35,115
Lollapalooza in 2006
1190
01:08:35,240 --> 01:08:37,158
was a very special moment
for this group.
1191
01:08:37,283 --> 01:08:39,744
A lot of people like Emily
and Feist and Amy
1192
01:08:39,744 --> 01:08:42,330
had been off touring with
their own bands and projects,
1193
01:08:42,455 --> 01:08:45,750
and this was a rare occasion
for everyone to come together
1194
01:08:45,875 --> 01:08:48,294
at one show, which is something
that wasn't happening
1195
01:08:48,294 --> 01:08:50,797
a lot back then, and hasn't
really happened a lot since.
1196
01:08:50,797 --> 01:08:53,174
And it
was just this magical moment
1197
01:08:53,299 --> 01:08:55,176
where you've got
tens of thousands of people
1198
01:08:55,301 --> 01:08:58,513
completely going on
this emotional journey
1199
01:08:58,513 --> 01:09:00,640
that a Social Scene show
takes you on.
1200
01:09:00,640 --> 01:09:02,642
Are you guys
ready for one of

our final bands tonight?
1202
01:09:05,395 --> 01:09:08,064
Chicago,

01:13:50,263 --> 01:13:51,389
over and over again.
1249
01:13:51,389 --> 01:13:52,766
Like, "This is our last show!"
1250
01:13:52,891 --> 01:13:54,934
"No, this is really
our last show!"
1251
01:13:54,934 --> 01:13:58,104
We didn't like the idea of
chasing our dreams or whatever.
1252
01:13:58,229 --> 01:13:59,939
It was just like
we're living it.
1253
01:14:00,065 --> 01:14:02,650
This is what we do.
1254
01:14:02,776 --> 01:14:06,738
I, uh, I gotta say
my heart is...
1255
01:14:06,738 --> 01:14:07,947
Are you nervous?
1256
01:14:07,947 --> 01:14:11,576
Not nervous, it's just,
we sound like shit on TV, so...
1257
01:14:11,576 --> 01:14:15,330
You know, when you don't
rehearse and you just hang out
1258
01:14:15,330 --> 01:14:17,290
and you're always
on the cusp of breaking up,
1259
01:14:17,415 --> 01:14:18,917
you've gotta take
some pavement licks.
1260
01:14:21,753 --> 01:14:23,338
I realize,
like, Social Scene,
1261
01:14:23,338 --> 01:14:25,757
we just did stuff
out of friendship.
1262
01:14:25,757 --> 01:14:29,594
I don't necessarily know
if that comes across well on TV,
1263
01:14:29,594 --> 01:14:30,804
because TV makes everybody think
1264
01:14:30,929 --> 01:14:34,724
that that's how
it's supposed to be.
1265
01:14:34,724 --> 01:14:37,185
Hey, there it is right there.
There's the Late Show building.
1266
01:14:37,310 --> 01:14:39,437
What do we do?
How do we get in?
1267
01:14:39,562 --> 01:14:41,147
Uh, we just go
around the corner.
1268
01:14:41,272 --> 01:14:42,148
Big day coming, champion.
1269
01:14:42,148 --> 01:14:43,316

Great city.

I'm either sick,
1304
01:16:35,637 --> 01:16:38,473
or I'm struggling to,
you know, maintain some sanity.

This bizarre job
that we have stumbled into
1309

ever-influencing
and de-influencing each other,
1349

but that's not the story.
1350
01:18:41,471 --> 01:18:44,849
And the only reason why I'm
in with you in this movie now
1351
01:18:44,849 --> 01:18:48,186
is because part of the story
is about you growing up
1352
01:18:48,186 --> 01:18:51,689
and your intersection with this
group of people making art.
1353
01:18:54,025 --> 01:18:56,861
I feel like I didn't
grow up until I had kids.
1354
01:18:56,861 --> 01:18:58,947
I never saw somebody
flip the script
1355
01:18:59,072 --> 01:19:00,657
and go and work
harder than you.
1356
01:19:00,782 --> 01:19:01,992
When you had Quentin,
1357
01:19:01,992 --> 01:19:04,661
that's when we first started
to not see you that much,
1358
01:19:04,661 --> 01:19:06,579
and then when you had Miles,
you were gone.
1359
01:19:06,579 --> 01:19:07,872
- Yeah.
- You were just like,
1360
01:19:07,872 --> 01:19:09,624
"I have to provide
for my family."
1361
01:19:09,749 --> 01:19:11,918
So you finish this, like,
rough cut of the film.
1362
01:19:12,043 --> 01:19:13,086
What happens after that?
1363
01:19:13,086 --> 01:19:15,755
They said...
I can't even remember, but...
1364
01:19:15,755 --> 01:19:18,591
I wish I had the email still.
It disappeared.
1365
01:19:18,717 --> 01:19:20,719
I want to say
it felt like they said,
1366
01:19:20,719 --> 01:19:23,054
"This movie will never
see the light of day!"
1367
01:19:23,054 --> 01:19:25,140
There was lots of
really great footage,
1368
01:19:25,140 --> 01:19:28,226
but I just didn't feel like
there was enough of a story.
1369
01:19:28,226 --> 01:19:30,979

devastated, I guess.

01:19:33,064 --> 01:19:35,066
And you needed a second
to just recalibrate, too.
1372
01:19:35,191 --> 01:19:36,192
Yeah.
1373
01:19:36,192 --> 01:19:38,319
'Cause, like I said,
you were working so hard,
1374
01:19:38,445 --> 01:19:39,571
and those party days were over.
1375
01:19:39,696 --> 01:19:41,948
Yeah.
1376
01:19:41,948 --> 01:19:44,576
The seven years
I knew you before
1377
01:19:44,701 --> 01:19:46,244
You Forgot it in People
came out,
1378
01:19:46,244 --> 01:19:48,621
we were religiously
listening to Pavement.
1379
01:19:51,624 --> 01:19:54,669
Here we are in Seattle.
1380
01:19:54,669 --> 01:19:56,129
Scott Kannberg,
1381
01:19:56,129 --> 01:19:58,340
who is "Spiral Stairs"
in Pavement,
1382
01:19:58,465 --> 01:20:01,342
had invited me to
come and stay in his home
1383
01:20:01,342 --> 01:20:04,512
for a few days in Seattle,
and I wrote him back and said,
1384
01:20:04,512 --> 01:20:06,222
"Can I bring my friend Stephen?"
1385
01:20:06,347 --> 01:20:08,725
We would love it if you
could show some footage of
1386
01:20:08,850 --> 01:20:10,560
what we've done
since we've been here.
1387
01:20:15,607 --> 01:20:17,150
He told me that you said that.
1388
01:20:17,150 --> 01:20:19,277
I don't know that.
I don't believe it. Really?
1389
01:20:19,277 --> 01:20:20,612
Episodes...
1390
01:20:20,612 --> 01:20:23,740
Here we go,
Stephen Chung and Spiral Stairs.
1391
01:20:23,865 --> 01:20:25,283
Are we spoonin' tonight?
1392
01:20:25,408 --> 01:20:26,534
We need to spoon!
1393
01:20:28,828 --> 01:20:30,413
- Hey, look at that.
- We're on.
1394
01:20:30,413 --> 01:20:32,207
- You know you'd love to.
- Yeah.
1395
01:20:32,332 --> 01:20:33,375
But you can't.
1396
01:20:33,375 --> 01:20:35,668
Of course you can.
Andrea would let you spoon me.
1397
01:20:35,794 --> 01:20:37,212
Come here!
1398
01:20:39,506 --> 01:20:42,050
How can you think
that you can capture someone,
1399
01:20:42,050 --> 01:20:45,261
within taking photographs
and filming things?
1400
01:20:45,387 --> 01:20:49,057
That's not ever capturing
somebody's truth.
1401
01:20:49,057 --> 01:20:50,517
We went down there.
1402
01:20:50,642 --> 01:20:52,185
He gave us these
rare Pavement...
1403
01:20:52,310 --> 01:20:53,978
Dude,
he gave me the motherlode.
1404
01:20:54,104 --> 01:20:56,231
And I saw Scott
giving him these vinyls,
1405
01:20:56,356 --> 01:20:58,441
and Stevie just took 'em
and he just said,
1406
01:20:58,441 --> 01:20:59,401
"Thank you very much!"
1407
01:21:01,486 --> 01:21:03,613
And I
thought to myself,
1408
01:21:03,613 --> 01:21:05,115
"You're gonna be okay!"
1409
01:21:05,115 --> 01:21:07,075
Yeah, that's right!
1410
01:21:07,075 --> 01:21:09,661
Kevvy gets somethin' in the end!
1411
01:21:09,661 --> 01:21:12,205
- I'm okay.
- I'm okay.
1412
01:21:12,330 --> 01:21:14,207
I'm okay.
1413
01:21:15,375 --> 01:21:18,503
Goodbye, goodbye.
This is ours. This is ours.
1414
01:21:18,628 --> 01:21:20,171
It was a lot of fun.
1415
01:21:20,171 --> 01:21:22,424
Thanks for filming
it all, Stevie.
1416
01:21:26,594 --> 01:21:30,223
Then I didn't
see you much after then.
1417
01:21:30,348 --> 01:21:32,559
You went off and did your life.
1418
01:21:32,559 --> 01:21:34,394
And I went off and did mine.
1419
01:21:45,280 --> 01:21:47,365
What this band
and this record
1420
01:21:47,365 --> 01:21:49,409
meant for people,
1421
01:21:49,534 --> 01:21:51,953
like, I think you can
only see that looking back
1422
01:21:52,078 --> 01:21:55,540
with some time and distance
and some perspective.
1423
01:21:55,540 --> 01:21:58,293
The fact that we're sitting here
today is filled with optimism
1424
01:21:58,293 --> 01:22:01,421
that the answer you got
in 2007 was not, "No,"
1425
01:22:01,546 --> 01:22:03,214
but it was, "Not now."
1426
01:22:03,340 --> 01:22:04,382
They were right.
1427
01:22:04,382 --> 01:22:05,967
The story wasn't ready.
1428
01:22:06,092 --> 01:22:07,552
It wasn't ready.
1429
01:22:07,677 --> 01:22:09,804
Like every band,
it's always changing.
1430
01:22:09,804 --> 01:22:11,890
There is no such thing as BSS.
1431
01:22:12,015 --> 01:22:14,100
There is no such thing as
Do Make Say Think.
1432
01:22:14,225 --> 01:22:16,895
There is no such thing as bands.
1433
01:22:17,020 --> 01:22:19,147
Like, it's fuckin' people.
1434
01:22:19,272 --> 01:22:22,484
I'm curious why you felt like
you needed to make this movie.
1435
01:22:22,484 --> 01:22:24,110
Um, great question.
1436
01:22:24,110 --> 01:22:26,363
It was just like,
"This is the time,"
1437
01:22:26,488 --> 01:22:30,241
and I want to make a movie,
and it's about this.
1438
01:22:31,534 --> 01:22:34,287
It's evolved, it's changed,
but it's still, you know,
1439
01:22:34,287 --> 01:22:36,623
it's really about
my relationship with these guys,
1440
01:22:36,748 --> 01:22:39,417
this group of amazing people,
1441
01:22:39,417 --> 01:22:42,671
this creative collaboration
and friendship and love
1442
01:22:42,671 --> 01:22:46,091
and just having a good time
together and being creative.
1443
01:22:46,091 --> 01:22:48,676
They want to have
the same traditional story
1444
01:22:48,802 --> 01:22:51,930
of how bands work, and it's
bullshit because for us,
1445
01:22:51,930 --> 01:22:53,890
we had ups and downs
and lefts and rights
1446
01:22:54,015 --> 01:22:55,225
and all kinds of things,
1447
01:22:55,350 --> 01:22:59,187
but we also had so much fun.
It was so much fun.
1448
01:22:59,312 --> 01:23:01,189
The thing that
hasn't changed about this band
1449
01:23:01,189 --> 01:23:02,941
is they're still
the best of friends,
1450
01:23:02,941 --> 01:23:05,110
and they've been through
a lot of, you know,
1451
01:23:05,235 --> 01:23:08,154
roller coaster drama
to get to this point.
1452
01:23:08,154 --> 01:23:10,824
Goin' strong, 23 years later.
1453
01:23:10,949 --> 01:23:13,201
Everyone told us
we were gonna break up.
1454
01:23:14,285 --> 01:23:15,620
We didn't; we're still here.
1455
01:23:15,620 --> 01:23:16,955
I have to say thank you.
1456
01:23:17,080 --> 01:23:18,248
Oh, you're welcome.
1457
01:23:18,248 --> 01:23:20,875
Because you've given me
the time, you've welcomed me in,
1458
01:23:20,875 --> 01:23:22,711
and you just let me
live with ya.
1459
01:23:22,711 --> 01:23:24,212
You gave us memories, Stevie.
1460
01:23:24,212 --> 01:23:26,589
You gave us memories
about things that
1461
01:23:26,589 --> 01:23:28,383
I would not have
remembered and...
1462
01:23:28,508 --> 01:23:30,176
No, I certainly
would not have remembered.
1463
01:23:30,301 --> 01:23:31,803
No. And people say,
"Don't look back,"
1464
01:23:31,803 --> 01:23:33,972
but I disagree with that.
1465
01:23:33,972 --> 01:23:36,057
I say look back so
that you can know
1466
01:23:36,057 --> 01:23:37,559
how you continue on
moving forward.
1467
01:23:37,559 --> 01:23:41,938
It was really cool to get on
this journey with you again,
1468
01:23:42,063 --> 01:23:43,481
as annoying as it was.
1469
01:23:44,899 --> 01:23:46,818
In the end,
it's always worth it.
1470
01:23:46,943 --> 01:23:48,028
- Cheers!
- Cheers.
1471
01:23:48,153 --> 01:23:50,155
- Cheers.
- Don't spill it on the Neumann!
1472
01:23:50,280 --> 01:23:51,281
Yeah!
1473
01:23:57,871 --> 01:24:00,332
There you go.
I stand corrected.
1474
01:24:00,332 --> 01:24:02,459
Chungie, that was
so much fun, man.
1475
01:24:03,752 --> 01:24:05,962
Yeah, that's the only way.
1476
01:24:05,962 --> 01:24:08,673
You wanna
resume with that quickly
1477
01:24:08,673 --> 01:24:10,008
and then move on?
- Yeah.
1478
01:24:10,133 --> 01:24:12,594
And then he goes,
"That's how we broke up!"
1479
01:24:15,513 --> 01:24:17,599
The documentary's
comin', buddy!
1480
01:24:17,599 --> 01:24:20,268
